Original subtitles

Ahh!

Unh!

[ horn honks ]

Uhh!

So, this is the device you use

to remove our life forces.

How many of us have you taken

with this thing?

You're the one they all talk about.

The great tracker.

Funny.

Now they'll all be talking about me.

Down. Put it down.

I just want to talk to you.

That's all.

Easy with the collector. Easy!

Come on, trust me, my man.

I could have let him kill you if I wanted to, right?

I saved your life.

You did not save my life.

I saved your...

All right. All right.

If you want to be macho about this.

Quiet.

Name.

- Name. - NESTOV.

Recognize it.

I knew you would.

What are you doing here?

I need your help.

MEL: No!

Why not?

Because this is a bar, not a strip club.

I don't see why one guy in the buff

for one night is such a big deal.

We tried theme nights before.

They didn't work.

Yeah, but you should see the hot guy I found.

He does the swimwear ads for the Telegraph.

You know, the one with the incredible package.

Jess...

Okay, but Full Monty Friday nights

are different.

This place will be packed.

I have no intention of turning this place

into a freak show.

[ door opens ]

- Uh, Cole? - Yes, Mel?

Do you have a second?

Jess, would you...?

I'll be in the kitchen.

The species does have a certain fla--ow!

That was totally uncalled for!

Quiet.

This is Nestov.

One of...

He needs my help.

Cole, this is not just a stray

that you can bring home.

He's a...you know.

So am I. You brought me home.

Yeah, but that was different.

Why?

Because you needed help.

I need help.

Uhh!

I need somewhere we can talk.

You have 5 minutes.

So I step off the train

as this Darius Foley guy.

Decent-looking guy, little bad dresser,

a bit tangy under the arms, but, hey--

what do I care?

I mean, I'm free, right?

I mean, on Sar-- Sar-top--

The reason you need my help?

Yeah. Right.

So, this Darius Foley guy, right,

is carrying a couple of briefcases

at the time, right?

That I go and... I...

You know what I'm talking about.

Did you look inside the briefcases?

Minute I got off the train.

- What did you find? - Some money.

Just about $2 million, that's all.

Yep. Yep. Yeah, I know.

I'm, like, "Okay, I'm set for life."

All I gotta do is lay low,

stay below the tracker's radar,

and I'm home free.

Yeah.

So, uh, I go to the address on this driver's license.

2 feet into the door, someone takes a shot at me.

Someone tried to kill you?

Unless firing solid lead projectiles

at the speed of sound

is, like, a greeting on this planet, yes!

Ha ha!

Oh, oh.

Please, please, please, please.

Stick to the story.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay.

So, I go to Zin for help,

only he didn't care about my problem.

He did care about the money, though, which he took.

Why?

I don't know. I have no idea.

I have no idea!

And I have no idea why you're still here.

What choice did I have?

Go to your authorities?

No. That's a given.

But who else was I supposed to go to?

And the guys that are shooting at me, man,

they're after Darius Foley, not me!

You know, I--I'm just a--

Con man.

Yeah.

Sure.

Whatever.

I mean, at least I'm not like the other lifers

who came down here, huh?

Sure, I made some mistakes,

but I figured the escape would give me a start over.

Hey, man...

If you're lying to me...

I am so not lying to you at this point, man.

I will look into your story.

I think that would be a good idea.

And you know, in a way,

you're responsible for us escapees.

All right? You remember that.

Really?

Hey, man, you just do whatever you want.

I'm just gonna sit here and have a drink

with the lovely lady.

Oh, please. Oh, not again.

Please. Please.

[ police siren ]

That could have been me.

Right there.

I walked in, then boom!

Shot fired.

Oh!

Man, what a dump.

I didn't get a good look around,

but if this is what I have to look forward to,

you can take my life force right now.

That can be accomplished.

Okay, obviously you don't understand

the, uh, joking around thing, man.

Okay?

You really don't understand the joking around thing.

Now, that's funny.

Tss.

[ dial tone ]

[ altered voice ] Hello.

Wha-what?

Hello?

What is that?

I don't know.

Colored liquid.

Uh-huh.

It's for this.

NESTOV: What is that nasty thing, anyway?

I believe it's called a painting.

What kind of idiot would paint that?

You were the painter.

That was funny.

MEL: You said the purple one, right, Cole?

Yes.

So what's the deal between you two?

You, uh... Brrrlr ha ha!

That's what we call it on our planet.

You know. Do you...

Mmm...mmm... you two?

Uhh!

- Was that a yes? - Ohh!

That's my iron.

It's an echo retractor.

It looks like my iron, Cole.

I know.

I modified it to pull sounds out of objects.

You modified my iron to pull sounds out of objects?

Yes.

Your speech makes waves.

Waves move particles in the air.

Foley was a painter, Mel.

If he was still inside the room when the paint was wet,

whatever sound is made is trapped inside

before it dries.

Maybe...

Here.

FOLEY/NESTOV: We have your daughter,

and she's alive and well.

Follow our instructions and she will be returned breathing.

We want $2 million or the girl dies.

That is not me.

I don't know anything about a kidnapped girl!

That was Foley, not me.

I swear! I swear!

I'll talk to Vic.

Maybe I can catch him in the morning--

Nestov...

[ door opens and shuts ]

Sit.

[ sighs ]

They--

So how do you know I'm working a kidnapping case?

Right, right, right. You got a cop bar.

I can't do it, Mel.

I've just been assigned

the F.B.I. Liaison on this case.

I can't do it.

Well, you know what happens

when my curiosity gets piqued, Vic.

Just start pouring the cheap stuff

until somebody spills the beans.

Whoa! Ha ha ha!

Nicholas Tavoulis.

- The investment guy? - Yeah.

His daughter Lina was kidnapped

a couple weeks ago.

I didn't hear anything about that.

It's part of the kidnappers' demands.

No press.

Tavoulis met the first ransom demand.

$2 million.

No Lina.

For all we know, she could be dead.

I thought Tavoulis and his daughter were--

Estranged. Yeah.

Lina's mom died when she was 6.

She was raised by nannies with expense accounts,

the whole deal.

So she turned into a bit of a party girl.

I can identify with that, only without the money.

And Daddy cut off the gravy train

after she blew about 400k

on a nice little 18th birthday party for herself.

Now Daddy feels guilty.

Big time.

Whew!

So how are things with you and...

The new guy?

You know, the boarder slash handyman guy.

Okay.

What do you know about this guy, Mel?

Look, Vic, leave it.

He's okay.

What's his last name?

What is this thing with you and Cole?

I'm just a little concerned, all right?

You're living with a perfect stranger.

I'm a little concerned.

We're just friends.

Yeah, well, we used to be

just friends once, too. Remember?

And I wasn't ready for a full-blown relationship.

And how about now?

I'm still adjusting to inheriting the Watchfire.

Maybe when things settle down. I--

I don't know.

All right. All right.

So you're saying maybe I--I got a shot, still?

Huh?

That's what I like about you, Vic.

You make romance sound like a smack-down rematch.

Well...

I gotta go.

Uh, hey-- kiss.

Kiss.

[ door opens ]

MEL: Cole?

Here, Mel.

She's the daughter of a multimillionaire.

Nicholas Tavoulis.

The money he was carrying

when he got off the train was the ransom.

So Foley never had a chance

to free the girl?

When you took over the body,

you stopped him from completing the transaction.

But she's still alive. We just gotta find her.

Yeah, but what I still can't figure out--

Who wanted to kill Foley?

- But, what-- - Excuse me.

And who would know he had that kind of money?

- It's quite obvious-- - Partner.

That's what I've been trying to tell you!

I knew that all along,

but you guys keep talking to each other!

A partner! A partner!

I can tap into Tavoulis' communication lines.

Sit.

If the kidnappers call again...

I can track them.

NESTOV: Ow! You did that on purpose.

COLE: No, I didn't.

NESTOV: You did that on purpose! COLE: I don't care.

Can you access his database

- with this thing? - Yes.

You do realize this guy's worth some serious cash?

Pony up $2 million for ransom?

Come on!

Thinking about it does good.

One tip. One stock trade.

That's all I'm asking.

I mean, it won't interfere with us finding the girl.

Get up.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Instinct. Just instinct.

Thank you.

We're talking about some serious money.

Bling, bling, bling! Man, we'd be loaded--

I mean, forget about Sar-top, man.

We can just like-- oh--oh--okay.

Quiet.

So that--

How long do I have to wait?

I'm afraid as long as it takes.

These holding patterns are typical

in a kidnapping case.

He did everything they said. He gave them the money.

How come they haven't returned Lina?

He killed my daughter, didn't he?

MICELLI: Look, 95% of the time

these things end up with families being--

What about the other 5%?

Mr. Tavoulis...

Everything went smoothly at the drop.

There's no reason for them to harm your daughter.

MICELLI: We just have to be patient.

You want me to get you something to eat?

- You haven't had anything-- - I'm fine!

I'm sorry.

That's OK.

I'm glad you two found each other.

She's alive, Mr. Tavoulis.

I can feel it.

I will get you something to eat, okay?

Yeah.

Huh.

Quite a few numbers on Foley's last phone bill.

I'll take care of it.

Start calling those numbers.

I'll be back in 5.

Just gotta check up on the bar.

Find out everything you can on Foley.

Anything that can lead us to that girl.

[ jukebox playing ]

[ door squeaks open ]

So... How's business?

Well, a woman came in about a half an hour ago

to use the phone, and, uh,

she wasn't thirsty.

[ sighs ]

Let me see the picture of that guy again.

I've got it right here.

Drool city, right?

And he's willing to strip?

Right down to his birthday suit.

I want the place back to normal the next day.

Absolutely.

Crumbs will be off the floor,

panties will be in the bin,

and the horny housewives will be gone

before the sun comes up.

Mel, trust me.

Okay.

NESTOV: Yeah. Uh-huh.

Yeah, I put the check in the mail today, okay?

I'll put the check in the mail today.

All right?

I swear.

Yeah, okay. Buh-bye.

- Anything? - They're all bill collectors.

This guy owed money to everybody in town.

He's a loser.

You just insulted yourself.

No, I insulted Foley, not me.

We just share the same ass.

Ass is a 4-legged animal.

No, ass is the thing that you shake when you dance.

You know. Huh?

Keep trying those numbers.

You gotta loosen up.

[ telephone rings ]

[ ring ring ]

[ ring ring ]

[ ring ring ]

No caller I.D.

- Tap him. - All right.

[ ring ring ]

[ busy signal ]

- Busy. - Keep trying.

Anything yet?

Still busy.

Tavoulis is receiving a call.

Can we hear it?

MAN WITH ALTERED VOICE: Mr. Tavoulis,

pay attention to the screen.

Lina is safe for now...

but I will kill her if you do not cooperate

with my instructions exactly.

I followed your instructions before!

He's receiving a video image.

I need to reconfigure.

MAN: Would you like to proceed?

Yes!

MAN: As before,

do not involve the police or the F.B.I.

Do not inform the media.

Hey.

I want you to purchase 2 waterproof suitcases...

Waterproof suitcases.

- NESTOV: Guys... - Quiet!

- Guys... - What?

Well, the line's still busy.

So?

So maybe the guy I'm calling

is talking to Nicholas?

MAN: You have 2 hours.

I'll be in contact.

Oh, my God.

COLE: There.

Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.

Given her size and the rate the water's coming in,

she has an hour before she drowns.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yes, yes.

WOMAN: Darius?

Hey, yeah. This is Darius.

Where the hell is our money, Darius?

The 2 million?

- That's right, Sherlock. - Yeah, I still have it.

Why don't you come by and drop off our share?

Uh, yeah.

Uh, where do you want me to bring it?

You know.

Yeah, of course, you know.

But I had a late one last night. Uh...

Can you just remind me how to get there?

Hello?

Ah, snap, man. They hung up.

The real Darius would have known where to take the money.

I tried.

I was able to get a reading from the signal.

I can find the location.

- JESS: Mel! - I better go.

We don't need Jess asking questions.

I can go see what she needs.

And I can make sure you never walk right again with one kick.

Then I guess she'll go.

I don't think Mel likes you very much.

Yeah.

[ disco music playing ]

Ow!

Ooh!

Wow! Ha ha.

I think.

Could you just help us with these?

I need to pick one.

I called Sandra and Kate

and got them on standby in case we need them.

You're really expecting that many people?

Are you kidding?

Look at that face.

Then the abs.

Now picture the full monty.

Oh, yeah! This is happenin'!

You feel this? Aah!

What is the full monty?

- It's, uh-- - You'll just have to wait

till tomorrow night to find out.

I need your car, Mel.

You don't even know how to drive.

- NESTOV: I do. - No.

Nestov says he's a very good driver.

The best.

We don't have time, Mel.

JESS: Time for what?

Never mind.

Thank you, Mel.

Seat belts!

COLE: Yes, Mel.

Speed limit!

COLE: What is a speed limit?

Ohh.

[ tires screech ]

[ rings ]

Hello?

MAN WITH ALTERED VOICE: Mr. Tavoulis?

Yes?

Do you have the money?

I do.

Get in your car and drive eastbound.

Take your cell phone--

How do I know you're for real?

You don't. But by the looks of it,

if you don't deliver,

your daughter drowns in less than 30 minutes.

Okay.

When I confirm the money has been delivered,

Lina will be released.

I understand.

Eastbound. Now!

And I don't have to remind you

to come alone.

If I see a follow car,

I'll put a bullet through the glass.

Let me come with you.

That's not possible.

You can't. You know that.

Yeah.

Mr. Tavoulis...

Good luck.

MICELLI: Our guy's on the move.

[ beep ]

[ tires screech ]

Ha ha ha ha, baby!

Whoo!

You told me you could drive.

What do you call this?

This is not how Mel drives.

Of course not. She's a female.

[ tires screech ]

A man on the news had a word

for this type of driving.

Yeah, I got, um, race car,

uh, professional stunt driver?

Drunk.

You don't think I know how to drive.

- No. - All right.

The right pedal's for acceleration,

and the left pedal's for stopping.

That's all you need to know.

Heh heh heh heh.

- Red light. - Maybe.

I have no idea.

[ tires screech ]

That was a horn. Did you know that?

You know nothing about driving.

Oh, yeah, I do.

The accelerator feeds liquid fuel to the engine,

and the fuel is called gasoline.

Tastes just like pegri juice.

At the prices they pay at the pump,

I'd rather drink water.

There you go. I know what I'm doing.

Faster.

You know, I'm going as fast as I possibly can.

Mmm...

I can't take this anymore.

I'm going outside for a cigarette.

I'm here.

MAN: Walk to the edge of the water.

You'll find a small token on the fence.

Dump the cases into the water.

Now what?

Go back to your office. Watch TV.

If the money is there,

the show will have a happy ending.

[ engine starts ]

[ tires screech ]

NESTOV: Oh, yeah!

- COLE: Stop here. - Here?

- Stop here. - Here?

- Here! - Here.

I feel strange.

All right, all right, you go down here,

and I'm gonna take the ladder.

Hey, hey, hey, easy, man!

Foley doesn't make a lot of cash,

gotta make these shirts last a while.

I do not trust you.

Like I told you, I'm a con man, not a killer.

I don't want the girl to die anymore than you.

And we'll find her faster if we split up.

It would not be a good idea for you

to leave this place without me.

I hear ya.

Uh-uh.

You wanted to climb.

- But I don't-- - Mphh!

Ugh!

Manual labor. This is not Nestov's game.

Not at all!

This is ridiculous!

How did I get myself into...

How is she?

They said if I paid--

You did everything they asked for, Mr. Tavoulis.

Where's Carver?

He went out for a smoke.

How long ago was that?

I'll call downtown.

This is Micelli.

I need a profile on Jackson Carver.

I don't know.

Just give me whatever you can as soon as you can.

You really think--

Why don't we get a foot detail

combing the immediate neighborhood?

The kid said he was going for a smoke, right?

So let's give him the benefit of the doubt.

[ coughing ]

Whoa!

Damn.

[ gun cocks ]

Hello, Darius.

Where's the money?

Put the gun down, and I'll tell you where I put it.

Why'd you try to screw us, hmm?

I thought we were all friends.

I mean, we even helped you

put on your lame art show.

All you had to do was bring in the money

for our little plan here.

Why'd you have to go mess it up?

Me?

You're the one who tried to end my life.

You were supposed to come right back here

with the money.

When you didn't show,

Carver freaked.

Thought maybe you were trying to double cross us.

No, I had a slight distraction on the train.

Chalk it up to a bad day, that's all.

Okay.

Then let's chalk it up to a big misunderstanding.

Exactly.

Now where's the money?

The money, Darius!

[ cell phone rings ]

Yeah.

Great news.

Guess who came by to pay a visit?

Oh, yeah. He's not going anywhere.

I will.

See you in 10.

Carver's on his way.

What happened?

We lost the signal.

Your father's gonna think you're dead.

Good.

Maybe now he'll know what it feels like to be alone.

You really hate the man, don't you?

Why are you asking me that?

We must've talked about my father and me

about a hundred times.

What the hell happened to you on that train, Darius?

[ metal clangs ]

[ sighs ]

They're gonna let her die.

[ Nestov gurgles ]

Help!

Oh, thank God!

Are you OK?

Yeah, I'm just a little shaken.

Where are the kidnappers?

They just took off.

Your friend helped rescue me.

You help him, I'll go call 911, okay?

NESTOV, GASPING: Help!

What are you doing in there?

Lina!

Cole!

Go after her!

What?

Lina!

Lina!

I'll come back for you.

- No, Cole! - You'll be fine.

No!

Don't go!

[ tires screech ]

- Hey. - Hey.

Let's go.

- Did you get the money? - Yeah. It's in the trunk.

- Whoo-hoo! - Is Foley dead?

He will be in about 15 minutes.

- Who the hell's that? - He showed up with Foley.

Aah!

You wouldn't hit a girl, would you?

No.

You can't do this to me!

Do you know who my father is?

You're never gonna get away with this!

Let me out of here!

Let me out! Get me out of here now!

Now!

MEL: So Lina was in it all along.

COLE: Yes.

I guess it was her way of getting attention.

Where's Nestov?

Lina locked him in the water tank.

Is he all right?

He'll be fine. He's a Nodulian.

MICELLI: Yeah, okay. Good.

- They got him. - All right.

Sir, it's about your daughter.

She's fine,

but the police have her under arrest.

Ooh!

[ coughing ]

Aah!

You.

What the hell were you thinking?

I could've drowned in there!

That's impossible. You're a Nodulian.

No, I'm not! I'm a Desserian!

But your records--

Man, I switched my records once I arrived on Sar-top!

I was planning to escape, okay?

I figured with the wrong files, the day I disappeared,

you guys would be running in circles trying to find me!

Mel says it's not good to lie.

Would you forget Mel?

I almost drowned in there!

That's why I didn't see you in the park that day.

Yeah, that's great. I was this close to drowning.

Amazing.

You have the ability to blend in the background,

even in your human form.

I'm fine. Thank you, Cole.

How long can you do it for?

I don't know.

Just a few minutes at a time, but I get real tired.

Yes.

So did you get her?

- Yes. - All right.

Well, I'm outta here, okay?

You looking for Nestov?

Okay, you found him.

'Cause that's me. You got that, right?

But that's not your real name.

You changed your records.

I know.

I know, but I was planning to make my life down here, right?

Big change.

Besides, it's better than my real name--

Dsllbduhdsolchch!

I see what you mean.

I knew you would.

So, you see, I'm a suave, debonair kind of--

You gotta admit,

It was a great adventure, right?

I know you got a job to do, so...

No hard feelings, pal.

You ready?

Yeah, sure. Let's do it.

Go.

What?

- Leave. - Huh?

You saved my life.

Yeah, I saved your life, but I don't understand.

I need someone the fugitives know.

Absolutely.

Someone I can trust.

Partners.

Okay, what do I get out of it?

Your life.

That works.

Go.

I'm going. I'm gone. Hoo-hoo-ha!

You weren't gonna do it, were you?

Go before I change my mind.

Yes!

Cole has a sense of humor!

Yes!

Remember...

[ humming music ]

I'm out! Whoo!

[ dance music playing ]

JESS: Don't worry. The show's just about to start.

[ telephone rings ]

[ ring ]

JESS: Hello?

JESS: Yeah, speaking.

Uh-huh. What?

You're kidding.

No, that's great.

Yeah, thanks for letting us know.

Yeah, thanks. Bye.

Jess.

Well, where is he?

Uh, there's been a, uh,

slight technical hitch.

It's gonna be fine.

So he's on his way, right?

Not exactly, no.

Uh, he's got cold feet, Mel.

He doesn't want to stand on the bar and take his clothes off

in front of a bar full of strangers.

He was going to take his clothes off for your customers?

Yeah.

Well, that is the meaning of "full monty," Cole.

Full monty.

Who's Monty?

Jess, this is not good.

Not good at all.

Yeah, I know.

What are we gonna do?

Free drinks.

I've already tried that one.

What?

Well, they were getting restless.

Okay. One second.

We could always, uh, pull the fire alarm.

[ women cheer and whistle ]

[ new song plays ]
